Description
This painting is a scene from "Faith & Fire" book by James Swallow done forHere's an excerpt that I used as base for this scene:
"Miriya aimed low, not at the place where the shadowy killer was lurking, but at the racks of ancient papers beneath. The plasma gun shrieked and cast flares of brilliant white light into the aged, dry tomes. The conflagration was instant, sending a sheet of fire up towards the rafters. A scream pealed through the air, and there atop the racks was the assassin, framed by orange flames, clutching at its face. Miriya had only a moment. <...>
This was a fun piece to work on and I'm glad to have the chance to

The books are specifically stated to be pretty worthless actually, farming data for a region that's a few centuries old.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental
hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the
staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so
they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the
machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on
a Monday night at 12:00 a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you
and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and
she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if you copy and paste
this to ten comments in the next ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow.You
will either get kissed or asked out, if you break this chain u will see a little dead girl

Great sense of movement! This picture really gives a feeling of motion and momentum. It's impressive when someone can look take a still image and make it look alive and active!

This has real energy and life to it, the coloring is gogeous and the overall feeling is of exuberant battle. You should be working for GW

Oh NO! She just disintegrated the last known surviving copy of the Naruto manga that had by some miracle survived 38 000 years of history! Oh woe is... hold on a tick.
Why is that a bad thing?
